When Nao Shingaki accepted a part-time job at a local convenience store, she never anticipated doing battle with the supernatural, but when the air at the malevolent mini-mart becomes thick with the scent of death, Nao must face her worst fears or lose her soul trying in this nightmarish tale of urban terror from first-time director Yoshihiro Hoshino.

Makes you long for the days when teenage werewolves were beady-eyed, slavering versions of hairy-palm jokes.
The scariest thing in the movie is a cameo by Scott Baio.
The special effects are particularly lame, and an insult to the proud werewolf tradition of An American Werewolf in London or the even better The Howling.
The scariest thing about this movie is the incredible waste of once-vital talent.
A third-rate effort, with a weak script, cheap-looking effects and no genuine frights.
How can you not feel affectionate toward a movie that includes a line like, 'I guess there's no such thing as safe sex with a werewolf'?
Dumb werewolf movie may leave you feeling cursed.
What can you say about a horror film when its spookiest cast member plays the innocent victim?
It really never deserved to be more than a quickie TV-movie on the WB, where it would've aired around Halloween and then faded into oblivion.

A procession of silly startlements: a sudden loud sound here, a mysterious hand creeping in there. This isn't scary, it's irritating. And then it's tiresome.
Let's hope that one day the studios realize that cutting films to make them a bit more kid friendly doesn't always equal a big payday at the box office.
Until this past Friday, the worst werewolf film ever made was, hairy hands down, Mike Nichols' Wolf. Cursed now assumes that dubious distinction and someone is going to have to try very hard to wrestle it away.
film whose authors require so many excuses doesn't deserve an audience
I am actually not really a Christina Ricci fan nor werevolves Movie but this was not Bad.

Not the most exciting horror movie. Pretty dull in the first half, seriously considered switching it off, but decided to stick with it. Can't honestly say I am glad that I did, but it did pick up. The cast is decent, especially Christina Ricci and Judy Greer, (she was actually pretty funny when she got going). I
